Realms rise and fall, human lives tick by like seconds on a clock, and the dragons watch from on high. But when the mighty wyrms lose their minds, when they succumb to their basest, most violent impulses, time stands still.

And that just happens to be the moment you should be running the fastest.

From the far corners of Faerûn, from the skies above and the pits below, from the imaginations of the next generation of fantasy masters, come tales of dragons good and evil.

This story is Erik Scott de Bie's first fantasy work to be published. He considers it to be written in an immature version of his style and does not feel it reflects his current writing ability, although he still believes it to be a solid fantasy tale.[1]
